During a meeting of the United Nations General Assembly a member of the Israel delegation got up to speak. He started by saying " Before I get down to business I'd like to share a story with you. One day Moses decided to go for a swim in a near by lake. Whilst swimming a Palestinian sneaked up and stole his robes." With that the Arab delegation member rose to his feet and yelled " There was no Palestinians then!!!"
"Exactly" Replied the Israel minister, " and now we have established that perhaps we can get on with the business in hand!"
